Pass Every Test;
Smooth Pre -Launch
(AP) Passing every test
with ease and benefitting from
the smoothest pre-launch prep
arations in the history of U. S.
manned space flight, the Gem
ini 7 astronauts today were
anxious to begin their 14-day
space adventure tomorrow.
Frank Borman and James A.
Lovell Jr., and their backup
pilots demonstrated their high
spirits by playing food tricks
on the dietician who keeps a
close watch on their menu.
As Gemini 7 preparations
entered the final hours, tech
nicians began readying the
Gemini 6 spacecraft for the
second launching in America's
space doubleheader.
DTH Editor Ernie McCrary
took off for Cape Kennedy this
morning to view the launching
of Gemini 7 which is sched
uled for tomorrow.
McCrary is one of three col
lege editors from the South in
vited by Life magazine to
watch the blastoff.
Also going to the Cape to
watch the liftoff is Anthony
Jenzano, Morehead Plantari
um director.
Jenzano and McCrary will
return to Chapel Hill Sunday
if all goes well.
Borman and Lovell are to
ride a Titan 2 rocket into the
skies at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Nine days later, on Dec. 13,
astronauts Walter M. Schirra
Jr. and Thomas P. Stafford
are to take off in pursuit from
the same launching pad in an
effort to rendezvous and fly in
formation with Gemini 7, per
haps within a few inches.
"We've got a reasonable
chance of doing it," Flight Di
rector Chris Kraft said today.
'Much will depend on the
quick turnaround on pad 19
and the condition of Gemini 7
after nine days in space.
"We've never had pre -launch
activities to go so
smoothly on a manned flight
before," commented a space
agency official. "There have
been the usual minor techni
cal difficulties, but nothing
worrisome."
Borman, Lovell, Schirra and
Stafford huddled today with
Kraft, Gemini Program Man
ager Charles Mathews and oth
er officials to review the mis
sion rocket, spacecraft,
weather, worldwide tracking
network and recovery forces.
The green light was flashed
on all phases.
A final flight review is
scheduled tomorrow before
Gemini 7 is committed to the
Campus News
Sn Gets Medal
Capt. William C. Sugg Jr.,
USAF,-was presented the Air
Force Commendation Medal
Thursday by Lt. Col. Kenneth
W. Slaker Jr., USAF, the
Professor of Aerospace Studies
at UNC.
Sugg distinguised himself as
Internist and Chief of the Air
Force Clinic at Bergstrom Air
Force Base, Tex., for a two
year period ending this sum
mer. Sugg was cited for having
displayed "outstanding pro
fessional competence, consci
entiousness and human rela
tions ability in providing su
perior medical care for the
base population" at Bergstrom.
Capt. Bennette E. Whise
nant, Commandant of Cadets
at the AFROTC detachment at
UNC, read the citation as Sla

before the AFROTC Cadets
meeting in Gerrard Hall.

The dietician, Miss Jeanne
Reid of the National Institutes
of Health, reported Borman,
Lovell and their backups
Edward H. White II and Mi
chael Collins have been
jesting with her over their
menu. She has been preparing
99 per cent of their meals and
measuring their calcium in
take for one of the major med
ical exams planned on the two
week journey.
She said that yesterday as
tronaut Donald K. Slayton
smuggled a sack of empty oys
ter shells into the crew quart
ers at Cape Kennedy, and
white and Collins placed them
on their plates while she was
out of the room. She noted
oysters are high in calcium
content and would have upset
the experiment had they ac
tually been eaten.
She said the Gemini 7 crew
had five guests for dinner last
night and the guests had peach
cobbler dessert something
forbidden to the astronauts.
Afterwards, she said, there
were remnants of cobbler on
the astronauts' plates, "But
I'm sure they were just kid
ding and didn't eat any."
Borman and Lovell today
spent hours reviewing the
flight plan, while Schirra and
Stafford practiced rendezvous
maneuvers in a spacecraft
simulator.
"Both crews are in tip-tiop
shape," reported the flight
surgeon, Dr. Charles A. Berry.

were lost in widespread air
operations. Communist gun
ners shot them down during
raids on two bridges in North
Viet Nam's Red River Valley,
one 35 miles and the other 50
miles north of Hanoi.
A spokesman said no para
chutes were spotted by other
raiders and the two pilots were
believed to have been killed.
Rturning crewmen said they
spotted four surface-to-air
(SAM) missiles In flight in the
area where the F15 "? down

American spokesmen an
nounced U. S. Air Force planes
attacked two missile sites 25
and 40 miles northeast of Han
oi Wednesday. Heavy dust and
smoke prevented an immedi
ate assessment of the damage.
Ground operations remained
in a relative lull, with fighting
limited to small, sporadic in
cidents. Guerrillas, for instance, shot
at a district headquarters at
Bihn Chanh, 10 miles south
west of Saigon. U. S. Army
helicopters helped government
artillery and mortar squads
repulse them. A spokesman
said there were no U. S. or
Vietnamese casualties and no
confirmation any of the Viet
Cong were hit.
Loss of the two Enterprise
planes recalled the ill-starred
first war mission of another
big American -military ele
ment, the Guam-based B52 jet
bombers of the U. S. Strategic
Air Command.
Of 30 of the eight-engine gi
ants assigned to the initial
saturation bombing of a "D"
zone jungle area north of Sai
gon last June 18, two collided
and crashed at sea, killing
eight crewmen.
The carrier operation was
rough in spots and an under
current of agitation was evi

world's biggest warship, but a
senior airman commented:
"Everyone is a little nervous
the first day of school."
Rear Adm. Henry Miller of
Fairbanks, Alaska, who com

DTH Staff Writer

day said that Rep. Charles L.
Weltner, D-Ga., was informed
by Federal officials that North
Carolina Ku Klux Klan lead

to embarrass him when he

The Federal officials said

least two occasions in public
that the Klan will do every
thing in its power to em
barrass and heckel the con
gressman from Georgia.
Weltner was reportedly giv

member of the U. S. delega

will discuss the House Com

ities' investigation of the
Klan. Several members of the
North Carolina Klan were
witnesses at the hearing.
Weltner called for the Con
gressional 'investigation of the
KKK last February, tie was
also a member of the sub
committee of HUAC which
held hearings in Washington
in October and November.
These hearings have been
recessed until early next year.
Weltner, a member of a dis
tinguished Georgia family
whose members include the
first chief justice of the State
Supreme Court and a Confed
erate general, was the only
deep South representative to
vote for the 1964 Civil Rights
Bill.
The panel discussion is be

The panel will be made up
of Weltner, Floyd McKissick,
